The music contained within the Tributes is used under
licence from One Musicon
behalf of the copyright owners.

Music from Legal copies of store-bought CDs or iTunes
downloads, from any artist can be used to make your Tribute.

The affect is amazing, the music sets the
emotional theme, and when it’s blended into the transitions (fades), it’s
like watching a professional movie clip that leaves a lasting impression, and
most often – tears of remembrance.

Photographic Tributes is where we take your memories
and add a musical backdrop to your life's journey, and save it on DVD.

Your images become …

a movie of
memories,

a music video,

a pictorial
history,

a time capsule...

“A
Photographic Tribute”.

Picture this…

…as music plays,
we travel within the photo; zooming and panning, until the subject is
fully appreciated. A transition could be a fade-in or page turn – one of 50
effects, as the next photo replaces the last in a seamless 24 frames-a-second
movie motion, all coordinated to the music of your choice. See examples.

Often seen at funeral services, it is now turning Milestone
Birthdays 21st, 50th, any birthday, into a surprise “This
is Your Life!”event!Great for
the anniversary of your parents, or In Memory Of a life passed
away that time now permits they be remembered in a more comprehensive way.

Photographs regardless of how small,
are enlarged and copied. Hidden albums release their treasures and duplicates
can be made.

A Basic Package (ideal for a 21st or
50th) is a Tribute containing up to 40 images and usually plays
for 6 - 8 minutes. (2 or 3 songs) We try to aim for 10 seconds exposure per
photo.

Larger quantities for “This
is Your Life!”epics, when you want to tell a fuller story,
may have 50 to 120 images and play for up to 8 - 20 mins of music.

As well as the movie DVD, the photos are saved onto a
separate data cd for safekeeping, printing, and easy distribution.

The Tributes are produced on a region free dvd, and both the dvd and cd
are supplied inside a durable twin DVD case, with a unique slipcover designed
from the subject.

This can become a
“This is Your Life!”moment
in the life of someone you love.

Why wait? I have created
tributes for many occasions, and sadly mainly for funerals. Watching these tributes
becomes therapeutic, i.e. the tears will finally give way to smiles. It is
often said that …

“It was a pity
those honoured weren’t here to see how much we treasured their lives”.

Organise
a “This is
Your Life!”moment for
someone you love. It doesn’t have to be a surprise; it could be a combined
effort, a positive project that will spark memories of better days and
tales that will be lost if not shared. Don’t be shy about it; a lot may
depend on you making the first move.

The Right
Occasion?

Milestone Birthdays: 21st,
40th..50th..80th.. or the next birthday.

Wedding Anniversaries. Your
parents have everything else.

As a gift, who needs a
special occasion? Think of friends currently in a Hospice, and enjoy it
with them!

Funerals. It inserts a
spirit of adoration, softening sadness into smiles.

In Memory Of: Maybe a year
after their passing, a more complete “This is Your Life!”could
be compiled as time now permits.

A Pictorial History: Capture
your Company’s History including details (timeline) on the back cover.

A World Trip: Three countries
on one DVD, with a button for each for individual access. (native
music?)

What is the Process?

Hint: If you are
providing photo files direct from your computer (jpegs), then please ensure
you send the largest versions of them. (highest kb file size number)
Supplying them on a USB memory stick would be the easiest way.

Hint: If you are going
to scan them, please insure they are scanned at 600 dpi, this means we can
zoom inside a small photo without it breaking into pixels.

Hint:Allow for around a minute of music for
every 6 photos; so more than one track may be required, and this will give
the minimum of a 10 second exposure. (e.g. 3 seconds to fade in, 6 seconds to
view)

All you have to
do is…

compile
and number your Photos - Jpegs into the order you wish them viewed.

Buy a 5B pencil
as it writes on a variety of paper.

Pens are often
pushed harder and tend to leave impressions; they can also transfer ink to
other photos. They must be supplied loose.

Choose some music, this can be the hardest part.

Once received,
the package will take approximately two weeks to complete & return. Local
events in 36 hours.

I’ll do the rest
by scanning the photos, make any enhancements to improve their appearance,
add transitional effects, pan and zoom, add the background music, burn it
onto a region free DVD, and finally design the T.V. Title and Cover pages.

The Procedure:

1.Make
contact via email regarding any questions you might have about the process,
or what you need to provide. I may already have your music of choice.

2.Forward
the photos and the music to me and on completion I will forward my account
details for depositing into a Westpac account.

3.Once
the payment has been confirmed, your originals, plus the traceable DVD
package will be tracked via a Courier.

4.A
Master Copy will be held on file for all future orders of duplicate sets.
